Massimiliano Pogliani, Vertu’s Chief Exective Officer, has stated that the Vertu Aster is a product designed to make a lifestyle statement for consumers who ‘not only appreciate rarity and craftsmanship in the goods that they choose to own, but desire products that reflect modern styling and trends in their colour palette and material.’ Working as both an effective smartphone and bespoke fashion accessory, its appeal is now broader in range, ‘desirous of luxury and understated elegance, but unwilling to compromise on performance.’
